Rajon Rondo torn ACL, and what it means for the Nets

Rondo is out for the season, and most likely the Celtics season is done. This means one big thing for the Brooklyn Nets: KG is available, and will be traded.

Nets need to make a base offer around Kris Humphries for KG, as soon as possible. KG is still a top notch defensive player, and can still score efficiently. He brings a whole different defensive outlook to this team. Especially in the p&r game, plus his mid-range shot is now his money shot which gives Lopez still the majority of looks down-low.

hate to see anyone go down with that type of injury. If we can trade for KG it'll solve a major problems with our pnr defense and open the driving lanes up. also give a pf that can actually finish the dimes being wasted on evans and hump. having kg would lower our oboarding which is something i'd be willing to give up.

I don't know about that. That's more of an opinion if anything. Why would the Celtics trade KG for Humphries? KG is better. Hump is younger. But Hump is overpaid and will be overpaid. I don't see the Celtics giving him 12mil a season, so why get rid of KG for him?

On a side note, they're going to have to pick a new all-star for the team. And since Rondo is a guard, it's not going to be Lopez. So another player (maybe Williams) is going to make it over Lopez now.

I definitely do not think KG will be available though, or Pierce for that matter. Think they both will retire as Celtics and they try to make a move for Calderon.

Agreed. They are now gonna ride the confidence after the win versus Miami

I don't think Boston trades him, but if they do, I don't see the Nets having the assets to pull it off. One team I could see trading for him are the Clips. Can you imagine DeAndre Jordan and maybe Bledsoe for KG and Barbosa? Both teams make out well. Clips become legit contenders with Garnett and Boston receives great youth for the future.

I always said during the offseason we should sign KG...he is the PERFECT fit next to Lopez, Williams, JJ and Wallace...he brings the same intensity on defense as Wallace and we NEED that 2nd guy...he can also hit the 12-18ft shot to help spread the floor for Lopez down low...and KG is perfect to play the PNR on offense and defend it on defense.

Now I would love to get rid of Hump, but I don't like Boston would be interested...it would have to be a 3-team deal where Hump goes to the 3rd team and Boston would receive a player from the 3rd and a 1st Rd pick from us. Trades kind of like these:

Much easier to pull off a trade if you keep it simple. Plus, I doubt Atlanta would agree to give up Josh Smith for ONLY Hump & Terry. So I just simplified your trade above; add picks & cash to Atlanta as needed.
